set-web-context-param(1)  asadmin Utility Subcommands set-web-context-param(1)

NAME
       set-web-context-param - sets a servlet context-initialization parameter
       of a deployed web application or module

SYNOPSIS
           set-web-context-param [--help] --name=context-param-name
           {--value=value|--ignoredescriptoritem={false|true}}
           [--description=description] application-name[/module]

DESCRIPTION
       The set-web-context-param subcommand sets a servlet
       context-initialization parameter of one of the following items:

       *   A deployed web application

       *   A web module in a deployed Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java
           EE) application

       The application must already be deployed. Otherwise, an error occurs.

       This subcommand enables you to change the configuration of a deployed
       application without the need to modify the application's deployment
       descriptors and repackage and redeploy the application.

       This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

OPTIONS
       --help, -?
           Displays the help text for the subcommand.

       --name
           The name of the servlet context-initialization parameter that is to
           be set.

       --value
           The value to which the servlet context-initialization parameter is
           to be set.

           Either the --value option or the --ignoredescriptoritem option must
           be set.

       --ignoredescriptoritem
           Specifies whether the servlet context-initialization parameter is
           ignored if it is set in the application's deployment descriptor.
           When a parameter is ignored, the application behaves as if the
           parameter had never been set in the application's deployment
           descriptor. The behavior of an application in this situation
           depends on the application.

           The possible values are as follows:

           false
               The value is not ignored (default).

           true
               The value is ignored.

           Either the --value option or the --ignoredescriptoritem option must
           be set.

               Note
               +--------------------------------------+
               |Do not use the --ignoredescriptoritem |
               |option to unset a servlet             |
               |context-initialization parameter that |
               |has previously been set by using the  |
               |set-web-context-param subcommand.     |
               |Instead, use the                      |
               |unset-web-context-param(1) subcommand |
               |for this purpose.                     |
               +--------------------------------------+

       --description
           An optional textual description of the context parameter that is
           being set.

OPERANDS
       application-name
           The name of the application. This name can be obtained from the
           Administration Console or by using the list-applications(1)
           subcommand.

           The application must already be deployed. Otherwise, an error
           occurs.

       module
           The relative path to the module within the application's enterprise
           archive (EAR) file. The path to the module is specified in the
           module element of the application's application.xml file.

           module is required only if the servlet context-initialization
           parameter applies to a web module of a Java EE application. If
           specified, module must follow application-name, separated by a
           slash (/).

           For example, the application.xml file for the myApp application
           might specify the following web module:

               <module>
                   <web>
                       <web-uri>myWebModule.war</web-uri>
                   </web>
               </module>
           The module would be specified as the operand of this command as
           myApp/myWebModule.war.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1, Setting a Servlet Context-Initialization Parameter for a Web
       Application
           This example sets the servlet context-initialization parameter
           jakarta.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD of the web application basic-ezcomp
           to client. The description The location where the application's
           state is preserved is provided for this parameter.

               asadmin> set-web-context-param --name=jakarta.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD
               --description="The location where the application's state is preserved"
               --value=client basic-ezcomp

               Command set-web-context-param executed successfully.

       Example 2, Ignoring a Servlet Context-Initialization Parameter That Is
       Defined in a Deployment Descriptor
           This example ignores the servlet context-initialization parameter
           jakarta.faces.PROJECT_STAGE of the web application basic-ezcomp.

               asadmin> set-web-context-param --name=jakarta.faces.PROJECT_STAGE
               --ignoredescriptoritem=true
               basic-ezcomp

               Command set-web-context-param executed successfully.

EXIT STATUS
       0
           command executed successfully

       1
           error in executing the command
